However, Nvidia plans to have Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company
(TSMC) produce the NV48, instead of IBM, as originally planned, the sources
noted. The NV48 will be built using a 0.11-micron process, the sources added.

The NV48 will take on ATI’s next-generation high-end graphics chip, the
R520, which is also expected to be launched in the second quarter of 2005. The
R520, however, will be the industry’s first GPU produced using a 90-nm process
at TSMC.

Looks like the video processors on the 6800 Ultras/Gt's wasn't a total lost
even though its particially broken. The NV-ious ones are asking for a rebate
for their broken product as the results from Anandtech are only for the ones
that do something. It doesn't talk about the ones with the completely borked
VP's, as those folks look like they are screwed. How likely would anyone get
anything for completely borked VP's or even the particially broken VP's? Well
this explains why all the nice PR on the VP's all over the 6800 GT/Ultra pages
shrunk to a brief mention.

We aren't as happy with it as we could have been, but we mostly have
issue with the way NVIDIA handled the entire situation remaining quiet for far
too long. Not to mention that there can't be too many happy 6800GT owners out
there knowing that 6600GT owners will have lower CPU utilization when playing
WMV9-HD files.

So where does my Geforce 4 MX fit into all of this?
